Jarell Quansah, who recently made the move from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen, marked his Bundesliga debut in a deeply emotional way. Just six minutes into the match he found the net and paid tribute to his late former teammate Diogo Jota by performing Jota’s iconic video game–style celebration, sharing the message “For you, Diogo.”

Outlets such as The Empire of The Kop, This Is Anfield, and posts on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted the moment, which has struck a powerful chord across social media and within Liverpool fan circles.

As much as we have felt the loss of Jota as a fan, I don’t think we will ever understand the thoughts that goes through the minds of the players that had played with him over the years. And for that, you’ll never walk alone, fellas.

Diogo was loved and earned the respect of everyone in football.

Former LFC players are having a nice start. Díaz, Quansah, and Núñez all have scored and are making an impact. Great for everyone.
